Higher-elevation sno-parks will see heavy use throughout the rest of the week as snowfall is predicted in the forecast.

Swampy Lakes, Virginia Meissner, Ten Mile and Wanoga sno-parks maintain fair conditions with crusty and icy spots.

Crescent Lake area sno-parks have 4-12 inches of snow depth with low-snow hazards.

Summer Trails

Lower-elevation trails including Deschutes River Trail and Phil’s Trail will have wetter conditions with muddy areas. Users should avoid damp areas to prevent trail damage. Other trails, including Badlands Wilderness Area and Horse Butte Trail are in fair to good condition.

Snowmobile event

A series of snowmobile drag races will commence at Wanoga Sno-park on Saturday and Sunday. Users in the area need to be cautious of the powerful vehicles.

Sno-park signs

Nearly all of the 700 snow pole signs are posted in the Moon Mountain to Dutchman Flat area with minimal repairs and postings in the near future. Users are always advised to bring a map and to be cautious of low-snow hazards.
